112dB releases Redline Monitor

112dB has released Redline Monitor, a sophisticated near-field monitor simulation for mixing and mastering on headphones.

Redline Monitor is a listening, mixing, and mastering tool. It replaces the extreme stereo separation that is characteristic for headphones with the detailed stereo image of near-field monitor speakers.

Its proprietary algorithm performs a sophisticated combination of filtering, frequency-dependent delaying, mid/side processing, and room simulation to create a convincing acoustic soundstage that allows you to properly localize sound sources. It also adjusts the relative levels of panned sources as they appear on speakers, and moves the soundstage from an indeterminate location inside your head (with headphones) towards a clearly defined location in front of you.

Redline Monitor features

True stereo soundstage with adjustable left/right speaker position from 30° to 90°.

Redline Monitor is available for Windows and Mac (RTAS/VST/AU) for an introductory price of $69 USD / 69 EUR (valid through April 21, regular price will be $99 USD / 99 EUR). An unrestricted 60-day evaluation version is available here.
